NOTES
On 19 August 2013, the Philippine Supreme Court ruled that the requirement of prior Tax Treaty Relief Application (TTRA) to avail of tax treaty
rates may be dispensed with since a tax treaty takes precedence over an administrative issuance. However, the BIR has not yet formally
amended its requirement for the filing of the TTRA with the BIRs International Tax Affairs Division (ITAD) prior to the occurrence of the first
taxable event to enjoy the benefits of the tax treaty.
